3-Fluoro-2-hydroxybenzoic acid → Methyl 3-fluoro-2-hydroxybenzoate

関与物質

反応手順

A 15.6 g (0.10 mole) portion of 3-fluorosalicylic acid was dissolved in a 100 ml portion of absolute methanol. A 22 ml portion of borontrifluoride-methanol reagent (2 equivalents, 51% BF3) was added and the reaction allowed to reflux for about six hours. The reaction mixture was cooled and added carefully to a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate. The resulting mixture was then extracted with ether, the ether layer dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The oil obtained was crystallized from methanol. The methyl-3-fluorosalicylate obtained had a melting point of 94°-5° C.
